    I dont know what to tell you.  Joe Rogan can't be deplatformed.

    The issue isnt that Joe speaks truth to power.  Lots of people do that.  What makes him such a danger to the system and TPTB is that he speaks for the powerless.  Thats the difference.  He gives those people a voice, and I unequivocally support him.  
    Is this an act?

    Spotify stock is up $14. Spotify says they will not be cancelling Joe Rogan. I find it amusing that the guy who started all this shit is a homophobe and was spreading misinformation about HIV which was 100% death rate at the time. If you can’t see the harm this is could have caused people…

    It’s time for all the boomer bands to go. They’ve had the time to sun.   Make room for new and exciting music.

    The Ottawa police … “we want the trucks gone”

    Also Ottawa police … “let’s steal their fuel”

    lol

    and they only got 3200 l of fuel … that’s like what 3-4 trucks

    and the racist pm is cowering…

    reminds me of the cowherd  in Dutch royal family that fled to Canada during WW2.  Except our cowherd is fleeing the citizens he proclaims to represent…

    You guys should start a go fund me to buy him diapers…

    And the biggest left wing trash the Toronto star is asking for more tax dollars.  You still think legacy media has your interest at heart by providing good journalism then you are delusional…of course their are defending their homophobe rock star…

    Spotify isnt backing down, and isnt booting Joe.  Good for them.  As I said, support Joe 100%, he's a hero.  

    it wasnt about booting him. there ws never an or else statement. Young said I dont want to be assiciated with a company that allows that recklessness.


    curious. what job or field did you land in  after you quit a job to go to pj show?

    Shit is going sideways for Rogan and Spotify. 

    This is devastating for Spotify because original content is the only thing that keeps them from being overrun by Apple and Amazon.  And they plunked down 100mm for Rogan. 

    https://pagesix.com/2022/02/05/joe-rogan-apologizes-for-repeated-use-of-the-n-word-in-viral-clip/
    i watched his apology video this morning. comes off sounding like he is sorry, but i can't say that it is not more of a "sorry i got caught" than an actual apology. i think he sees that he could potentially lose his podcast and is scrambling to do damage control.

    there is a lot of light on him now and he knows he needs to watch what he says. maybe he will have to stop smoking weed before doing the podcast.


    I’ve been very critical of jr but as long as he apologizes for this and his podcasts are clearly labeled for inaccurate content, he deserves another chance. And yes, he needs I watch what he says. I’m trying, Nick
    I agree. People seem to only forgive people they like. NYC mayor just got caught saying cracker. But it was way back in 2019 before it was wrong. I guess. People are allowed to make mistakes. His apology seemed genuinely sincere. I think it’s Time to get off his D. Until the next Twitter mega clip 
    i don't think you can decide when it is time to get off of him. people are pissed off at him and are waking up and making it known. spotify is in the tank right now.

    my problem is he knowingly spreads misinformation on his podcast. he is talking about things he knows very little about, or knows just enough about to be dangerous. he has people that are so loyal to him they will do exactly what he recommends, just like trump with the bleach drinking. he has said and advocated things that no doubt have resulted in people getting covid, prolonging their symptoms, and potentially dying. that, above anything else he has done in his entire life, is unforgivable in my eyes.

    also, the arrogance with which he freely spreads wrong information and nonchalance that he uses to defend himself almost makes me think he is doing it on purpose. like spreading disinformation.
    We get it. You hate him. 
    and you love him. we get it.
    Expecting a ”Personallyyyy I don’t listen to or care for Joe Rogan… BUT… ”
    It’s annoying but I have to say it. Because if I defend him I must be a huge fan. If I critique anything on the left I must be a trump voter. It’s the same cycle here over and over. 
    What's the defense for using the N word consistently?
    That’s not for me to answer. He addressed it. You either accept his response or you don’t. Forgive him or don’t. Forgiveness seems to only depend on if you (general) like the person or not. 
    So, do you forgive him?
    Not that it matter but yea. I do. I also forgave my mayor this week for using the word “cracker” in 2019. I’m on a streak  
    A black man referring to a "cracker" (someone who cracks a whip right?) is in no way in the same universe as a white man using the n word.
    Still wrong though. No? 
    Yeah he shouldn't have said it for sure. But it's just not comparable to the n word. 
    Sounds like you just forgive the people you like. If you forgive someone using the word cracker than you must forgive someone who repeatingly used the N-word while knowing it is something to not do. And who said that a white mans brain is superior to a black mans. 

    Man, you people on the left sure are something
    Honestly I haven't heard anything from Rogan's n word barrage that bothered me too much. Now the brain thing is fucked up for sure.

    And I can't say I like the NYC mayor.  I just don't think a black man calling anyone a cracker is anywhere close to a white guy using the n word.
    Hmmm it’s an interested situation. Intend to disagree with you and especially for an individual in power. Cause power and history is what makes the “n word” so awful in my mind. But a black leader calling someone a cracker is certainly a racial remark. And that coming from the mayor is unacceptable. 

    I thought we already established that Joe Rohan was a moron. Using the n word is not acceptable in anyway other than historical….that my opinion…but it’s certainly not acceptable for a white person to use.

    Haha. Joe Rogan is a hero.  What a joke.  He gives power to the poor, middle age white powerless people out there.  That's such a pathetic statement.  

    He won't be pulled from the air because Spotify can't lose their 100mm investment. But he will be an anchor forevermore.

    Nami is defending the hero we all need Joe Rogan for pushing racist conspiracy theorists because it was in 2012, which was ages ago when the internet had not yet been invented and Stanley Kubrick had not yet faked the moon landing. am I reading that right. I'm not in twitter but clicked to see.

    Birtherism was never a legitimate topic,  only a racial one meant to de legitimize the president.
